by David Nuttle History repeated is confirmation of fasts. Communist "thugs" like Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot always promise a "socialist utopia" in the process of seeking absolute power, In reality, as I have said before, what they achieve is economic collapse, shortages, suffering, loss of all freedoms, and democide (mass murder of political opposition by government). For example, Stalin is reported to have murdered not less than 20 million of his own citizens. Those Am

by David Nuttle More people are gardening at home to grow healthful foods. The intensive, chemical farming, in most of the U. S., kills soil microbes producing all nutrients crops will need. Farmers thus need to buy and use commercial fertilizers to provide plants grown with required nutrients. The need for soil mineral replacement needs to be ignored. A lack of natural organic nutrients creates nutrient collapse and food crops deficient in these very critical nutrients ca

by David Nuttle Resources of all types have are in short and shorter supply. It is more critical than ever to extend resources by multiple uses. A good example is the multiple benefits form dollars we expend for counter-desertification efforts being undertaken by NPI and others. Funds expended for counter-desertification help produce food crops to improve our global food security and green energy availability while developing water resources, improving our environment,

by David Nuttle During the administrations of POTUS Obama and POTUS Biden there is evidence that the Dems, under their direction, weaponized intelligence agencies and law enforcement to do all damage possible to Republicans. The primary target to harm was POTUS Donald Trump, 45th President and later a candidate to become our 47th President. In the process of doing the above, false investigations and charges were made, Selective and punitive, unjustified legal prosecu

by David Nuttle Crime rates in the U. S. are known to be consistently high for the following reason all well documented: a) Easy access to guns and negative gang influence. b) Slums, poverty, and lack of economic opportunity. c) Urgent need for money to buy illegal drugs for addicts. d) Distrust of government and law enforcement. e) Lack of community social cohesion. f) DAs who are forgiving of criminals and crimes for quick release. g) Acceptance of criminal behavior by y

by David Nuttle With ever increasing health costs, medical experts suggest every couple should have full genetic testing done before marriage. Such testing can determine if one or both parties, who plan to join in marriage, have a genetic potential of one or more costly diseases; e. g. fibrosis, sickle cell, Huntington's, or muscular dystrophy. In addition, genetic tests will disclose any mutations that could cause heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or Alzheimer's. B

by David Nuttle AI (artificial intelligence) has great potential but has missing information and a very small amount of misinformation, in my experience. One of the obvious gaps in inability to know the breeds of livestock or varieties of plants. What AI knows is based on documentation it found. Personal knowledge is not recognized by AI and documentation of information is required but may not always exist. To suggest additions or changes to AI, inputs must be detailed

by David Nuttle The U. S. has a number of clubs or youth organizations that teach leadership, skills, and problem solving while building confidence and self-respect. To wit: a) Turning Point USA, with youth chapters in high schools and colleges, focused on open & honest debate on issues youth are concerned about. (The co-Founder, Charlie Kirk, was a victim of political assassination in 2025.) b) FFA and 4-H Clubs primarily for farm youth to perfect agricultural skills and

by David Nuttle At times the USG (U. S. Government) has acted intentionally or unintentionally to create distrust of our own government. A few well documented examples follow: 1) During World War II, POTUS Truman promised Ho Chi Minh & his Viet forces that the U. S. would not help the French re-colonize Vietnam if Viet forces would help to defeat Japanese troops occupying Vietnam. The U. S. provided an OSS training team of U. S. Army Officers, & weapons to assist the Viets

by David Nuttle If the U. S. was forced to fight another major war, we would be in trouble. Not less than 77 percent of American youth have been declared unfit to serve in the military. About one-third are obese, 07 percent and on illegal drugs and 06 percent have alcohol problems. Another 04 percent have mental issues & others have assorted factors making them unfit for any type of military service. Some of the reasons for youth fitness decline are a) Sedentary life w

by David Nuttle The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) works to convert nations to communism using the "boiling frog" technique. Frogs in a pot have the pot-water slowly warmed over time so when that water starts to boil it's too late for any frog to jump out of the pot. This method has been in the U. S. focused on our youth. CCP agents-of-influence infiltrated our colleges as well as total educational system over a period of years. They are fantastic at deception as witnessed

by David Nuttle Social media has been both a blessing and a curse. The major pros and cons follow: Pros -- Improved communications -- Rapid information access -- Remote learning -- Marketing & branding -- Sharing of interests Cons -- Damaging images -- Harassment & hate speech -- Creation of anxiety & depression -- Misinformation -- Distraction & disruption The major problem, created by social media, is organized hate speech encouraging lone-wolf attacks on a person or

by David Nuttle Among many political and military leaders of developed nations there is some agreement on what it takes to actually win wars. To wit: a) Avoid half-measures and a quick departure. b) Be holistic, patient and seek support from others. c) Solve root causes and repair rifts. d) Use the appropriate tactics; e. g. don't use conventional means to fight unconventional war as the U. S. tried unsuccessfully to do in Vietnam. e) Address political, economic, and socia

by David Nuttle There is an unanswered question about the benefits of using kindness to alter the hostility between adversaries, During World War II my family & I were kind to the 60 German POWs on our farm each day to help train groups of 300 mules to pack before shipping them to help our military forces in Europe. These POWs were all German farm boys, on honor status and glad to be out of the war. There were no guards or guns and Gen. George Marshall, who had ordered thi

by David Nuttle The world's 2-billion plus poor, of a global population of just over 8-billion, are known to be impoverished primarily due to the following issues: a) Governments of many developing nations are known to be corrupt and incompetent. b) Development programs are not always inclusive, and some populations live in social and economic as well as political isolation. c) Funds and resources are diverted to benefit a dictator. d) There is limited investments in educa

by David Nuttle As a mouse is attracted to cheese, many American youths are suddenly being attracted to communism since it is a political system appearing to offer many freebies at little or no cost. A relatively comfortable life, instant gratification provided by electronic devices, and testing of illegal drugs have corrupted large numbers of our youth. These youth know nearly nothing about history. If they did there would be some awareness that communist states have only

by David Nuttle Victims of terrorist or criminal attacks will need help to recover. The first priority is always medical aid to treat life threatening and other injuries. After that, needed services & holistic trauma treatment should be provided. Also involve any first responders first encountering the victim(s) and also provide for their needs. Counseling should be provided along with sustaining support for the victim(s). If there are groups of victims, it may help

by David Nuttle For all my counterterrorism efforts, I always had a double-alert system to warm at the start of a terrorist attack. Secondly, I would have an emergency communication means to alert a response network of the attack. Third, and most importantly, I recruited, trained, & equipped a quick reaction force to hit attacking terrorists from behind. For my Village Defense Project, in S. Vietnam, this force was a Strike Force company, 120 men, well trained and armed as

by David Nuttle To stop war it is necessary to know why wars start. Armed conflicts are caused by a mix of political, economic, ideological, & security factors driven by ambition, biases, and a degree of strategic calculations by leaders with or without population support. The major causes are: a) Border disputes b) Succession of leaders c) Independence. d) Religious differences e) Ideological competition

by David Nuttle During the Vietnam War our troops and their military commanders did not discover how to successfully operate in the jungle. Although the jungle was neutral, our military decided the jungle was the enemy & elected to kill the jungle with a double-spraying, once with 2,4-D and a second time with 2,4,5-T. Then they decided to mix the two herbicides without testing to only spray one time. The 2,4,5-T was contaminated with the very hazardous chemical that Monsa
